Glendale is gearing up for some serious street art -- make that sidewalk art.

The Vestar Chalk Art Festival presented by the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance will make its debut at three Valley locations next month -- and we've got all the details to help you get down and dusty.

The first-ever festival will feature over a dozen professional artists creating eight-foot-by-six-foot chalk murals that will remain on view through Wednesday, April 30. Mural themes will vary by location, with Desert Ridge Marketplace highlighting environmental awareness, Tempe Marketplace using college and state monuments to illustrate community, and Westgate Entertainment District featuring spring-centric collaborations.
